Apps Question about android menifest file?

[raghavsd9]

hello people, how are you?
Please help me in removing the android menifest file while performing android programming.
Someone told me that the menifest file is vital for the layout and setting of out program. they told me this is a seperate file but is still a part of the java project (.jar/ap/apk file). They told me i can set everything using ONLY the java code itself. I really hate doing XML with java. please can someone tell me how to remove or unlink this XML/HTML file from the Android SDK?
Thanks in advance.
Raghav Sood.

AFAIK, for Android apps you MUST have a manifest file. That's what declares everything about the app (i.e. version, package name, stuff like that) and all the activities in it.

Your app won't even know what the first activity to run is without the manifest. You can use Java to program the XML file for the layout, but Java code can't replace the manifest.

Without a manifest file, your app cannot be compiled. It has nothing to do with layout.

if there is a error in youre manifest file eclipse wont make r.java
and that's one of the main classes in youre app
